Derailed
Five Lessons Learned from Catastrophic Failures of Leadership

As a pastor, I appreciate reading good books on developing and maintaining healthy leadership. In Tim Irwin's book, he starts out with six profiles of leaders who were derailed in their leadership of well known companies. He then points out ways that we can avoid derailment in our personal and leadership lives.

Self examination is an intricule part of leadership that can be left by the wayside as leaders forget what made them leaders in the first place. The point is, that a failure in character trumps any effectiveness or competence you have in skills and organization. I enjoyed this book and if you're in any leadership position, you'll probably get some real insight from it.
